What type of reaction is ethane plus bromine?
Ethene has a very reactive double bond, and if mixed with bromine in organic solvent, it will undergo an addition reaction, where the two bromine atoms will adjoin onto the ethane molecule (because the double bond has broken, it now becomes an alkane (ethane) - more specifically it will form 1,2 - dibromoethane. C2H4 (g) + Br2 (tetrachloromethane) -------------------> CH2Br-CH2Br (aq) However, when bromine is dissolved in water instead, HOBr(aq) will be formed, subsequently the reaction becomes: C2H4 (g) + HOBr (aq) -------------------> HO-CH2-CH2Br (aq) Still, the brownish - reddish colour of the bromine water will decolourise. This is a useful way of distinguishing between alkanes and alkenes of similar molecular weights. ***RS**
When ethane is attacked by bromine in the presence of sunlight?
when ethane reacts with Br in presence of sunlight, it forms Ethyl Bromide(C2H5Br) and then after dehydrohalogenation of the product obtained will give Ethlene (C2H4)
C2h6 undergoes a substitution reaction with bromine true or false?
Yes it can undergo a substitution reaction, however conditions have to be just right. if there is a very limited amount of Bromine available OR it is at very high temperatures > 400 C. This will allow for a bromide radical to take the place of a Hydrogen atom on either side of the ethane molecule forming trans- 1,2-dibromoethane (primarily) with some of the cis form of the same molecule.Typically this is an addition reaction across the double bond of an ethene molecule resulting in the same products.
Does propane undergo addition reaction?
Alkanes like (methane, ethane, propane etc.) … They do not undergo addition reactions
How do you convert ethane to ethyl amine?
CH3CH3 + Br2 + hv ==> CH3CH2Br (free radical halogenation)CH3CH2Br + NH3 ==> CH3CH2NH2 (Sn2)
What is the reaction of ethene with bromine in aqueous solution of sodium chloride?
1,2 dibromoethane and 1-bromo, 2-chloro ethane and 2-bromo ethanol

How do you prepare butanw from ethane?
in first step prepare ethane to chloro ethane fallowed by wurtz reaction. chloro ethane can be prepared free radical reaction btw ethane and chlorine
When ethane is attacked by bromine in the presence of sunlight?
when ethane reacts with Br in presence of sunlight, it forms Ethyl Bromide(C2H5Br) and then after dehydrohalogenation of the product obtained will give Ethlene (C2H4)
How do you convert ethane into methane?
CH4 + Cl2 = CH3Cl + HCl (in presence of sun light) CH3Cl + Na/ether = CH3-CH3 + NaCl (ethane) this reaction is called wurtz reaction.........
Why doesn't iron rust in ethane?
Rust it is an oxide, formed by the reaction with oxygen or oxygenated water ; ethane don't react with water.
Does ethene react with Bromine in the presence of UV light?
Yes, however it doesn't require it either to react. ethene+bromine water→1,2-dibromoethane Ethane reacts with bromine only in the presence of UV forming bromoethane and hydrogen bromide.
What organic chemical reaction will make an alkane like ethane to become a double bonded 2 carbon chain?
You are trying to reduce ethane to ethene, I am guessing. That is a very hard reaction to do... probably you will have to do a free radical halogenation on ethane to form 1-chloroethane, followed by an E2 reaction with t-butoxide or some other bulky base to form ethene. Since ethane and ethene are both gases and cheaply available from petroleum cracking, this reaction really isn't worth doing.
How is polyvinyl acetate extracted from crude oil?
1 you will need an ester called vinyl acetate, to make the ester you need ethanoic acid and hydroxy ethane obtain ethane from crude oil by fractional distillation treat ethane with bromine in the presence of UV light. treat with aqueous NaOH to form ethanol we have got ethanol we need ethanoic acid add acidified potassium dichromate and conc H2SO4 condition: Heat under reflux.

What is the chemical reaction when C2H6 gas is combusted?
The chemical reaction when C2H6 gas (ethane) is combusted is: 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 + 6H2O. Ethane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
What is the name of the reaction in which many ethane molecules combine together?
You think probable to polymerization.
